As for the documentation, If I'm luck I might still have an email that was within the "warranty period. Everything else was verbal.
I did contact Roush with a firm letter , through Mark and "my case" was revised at the Engine Department Oversight Comittee" meeting last Tuesday ...only to be told the engine was out of warranty NO EXCEPTIONS, but that they would offer me replacement parts at a reduced rate. This is not at all what I was expecting from Roush or such a high dollar engine! |
You've had the car on the road for 3 years with a 4 year old engine, it's hard to find fault in anyone but your dealer for not reporting it right away with you. An engine should not exhibit these problems, yes. But when and if they do it has to be properly addressed.
Roush has shipped over 1000 of the SBF 427s so the track record is pretty good
